Stuart purchased my Yamaha bass earlier today. What a thoroughly pleasant chap and a credit to bass chat. Communication was excellent and the deal went as smoothly as it possibly could have. I wouldn’t hesitate to do business with Stu again in fact I look forward to the prospect.

I bought this on a whim a few weeks ago and I have to say that for the money it’s an amazing instrument. I believe it could probably hold its own tone wise with basses costing two or possibly three times as much. The set up is great and action is medium low. The tones that you can obtain from this bass are truly wonderful and it would make a very reliable second bass for a gigging bassist and a stellar starter instrument. It would also work well for someone wanting to try a quality 5 string without the need to lay out loads of cash. Condition is pretty much as it left the shop with the exception of a tiny mark which is shown in the photos. I will include a decent gig bag in the sale. I am happy to meet up with any prospective buyer but prefer not to post as I have not got the original packing box. Collection is also fine. Any questions please shoot them across. Cheers.

Up for sale is my Yamaha BB P34. It’s definitely up there as one of the very best basses I’ve owned and it’s acknowledged by many as one of the finest passive instruments money can by. The condition is very good although there are a few minor playing related scuffs here and there but nothing that’s easy to photograph. There is a very tiny ding by the bridge which I have tried to capture but you need the right light to be able to see it. The bass plays superbly and sounds wonderful and has been fitted with new DR strings recently. It comes in a very sturdy hard case which has hardly been out of the house. I’m not looking for any trades as I am looking to purchase a different bass to satisfy my desire to try a multiscale instrument. £895 is a little more than half price but please feel free to send me any sensible and fair offers. If you are looking to buy a passive 4 string that isn’t the obvious brand then it’s hard to see how you can improve on the Yamaha. I am based in Wigan and would prefer any potential buyer to collect but I am also happy to meet up somewhere to facilitate a deal. If you have any questions please do let me know.

I am a bit late to this thread but he played on Shaun Martin’s ( of Snarky Puppy fame) album 7 Summers. It’s fantastic by the way! https://www.notreble.com/buzz/2016/03/09/shaun-martin-the-yellow-jacket/

Here you have a Spector NS Pulse 5 string in Charcoal Grey sandblasted finish. The bass is only a few weeks old and has hardly been touched. Please think of this as a new instrument as there isn’t a mark of any type anywhere on the bass. New DR strings have just been fitted and this has definitely improved the playability. The bass plays very well in general, has a medium action and sounds fabulous mainly owing to the combination of quality woods and top grade US EMG pick ups. I bought this to satisfy my hankering for a 5 string only to end up at the same conclusion as I have after previous purchases that I am not a 5 string player. I will include a decent padded gig bag which was purchased separately. Delivery may be possible as I often travel for work purposes. If anyone has a nice four string of equivalent value (Yamaha, Fender) then a trade may be possible, especially for a good quality lined fretless. However should carriage be necessary it must be at the risk of the purchaser. Please feel free to ask any questions. Thank you.

I am selling my EBS Session 60 bass combo. I have no complaints about this amp it’s a fabulous practice/small gigging unit which is around two months old. As you would expect for something that’s a very recent purchase and has been used only at home the condition is mint. I don’t have the original box so I am not looking to offer postage, but I am willing to meet interested parties within a 40/50 mile radius of my home in the Wigan area. If anyone is looking for a really simple practice/rehearsal solution which sounds excellent and is a one hand carry then look no further. I am confident that this is going to be a bargain for someone. Please don’t be shy get in touch if you have any questions. Configuration 1x 10" + 2" Frequency Response 60 - 18k Hz Power Rating 60 W RMS Height 34 cm / 13.5" Width 38 cm / 14.8" Depth 39.5 cm / 15.6" Weight 16 kg / 36 lbs

I gigged for a few years as a drummer in various bands. Playing a bit of everything but I really liked to play groove orientated music. I am not really a gigging bassist though, certainly not in recent times at least.

Ghostnote with Mononeon on the bass.😀

Cameron recently bought a Boss Waza Air Bass system from me. He was a real pleasure to deal with. Comms were great throughout and payment swift. Highly recommended purchaser with whom I would gladly do business again.

You’re welcome Cameron, Thanks for your purchase. Kind regards, Mark.

I met up with Graham on Friday to trade basses. I found him to be a very pleasant gent and completely trust worthy. It was a pleasure to do business with him and hope to stay in touch being that he is fairly local to me. One of the good guys and a credit to Basschat.
-
Thank you Graham, Very pleased to meet and deal with you. A very enjoyable,patient and painless process. Hopefully catch you at Ghostnote.

Pretty much bought on a whim, I now realize that I just don’t play enough to warrant keeping this. It is without doubt the best practice tool I have tried though. The sound quality is absolutely unreal and the versatility of the system which allows you to practice with rhythm tracks, a metronome, playing freestyle or along with your favourite tracks is second to none. If you practice every day or you are a touring pro this will be an absolute godsend. Used only a few times, it’s all pretty much brand new with the original box. save yourself a few quid over the new price which is £350 - £400. https://www.boss.info/global/products/waza-air_bass/

Maruszczyk Elwood Absolution 4 string bass in Blackburst.TRADED!
MNY replied to MNY's topic in Basses For Sale
Thank you @Teyeplayer. It is sadly not incredible enough for this particular moment it would seem. It plays and sounds really well. So why am I selling it? I have a Yamaha which I prefer playing as it does the p thing so well. Were I not a simple weekend warrior I would keep the Maruszczyk as it’s a fabulous bass, but I am not a collector so I need to sell it. I have reluctantly offered trades as I do like Yamaha TRB’s and if one comes along then I might be tempted. -
It’s no surprise that Marcus has worked with some of the most influential jazz musicians in history as both producer and bass player. His work with Wayne Shorter on the High Life album was pretty remarkable. He is often though of as just a slap bass player but his playing is much much more than his sparkling Fender Jazz bass sound. If you haven’t heard the track ‘on the Milky Way Express’ off the aforementioned Wayne Shorter Album check it out. He read the part from a hand written manuscript that Mr.Shorter wrote out that was so long (wide) he needed to use a swivel chair. Great track and amazing bass part.

He did play quite a few sessions but mainly in the 1980’s IIRC. He was definitely more of a purist and was quite close to Jaco in Jaco’s later years. Regarding the Yamaha thing it’s seems unlikely as Mike is playing his Fender in the video, he only started playing his signature Pacifica in the early 1990’s. Monster bassist who left us way too soon. A real shame. Edit @Misdee you may well be correct re Yamaha as the video is supposed to be from 96! Strange as the guitar looks like his Tele.

RIP Jeff Andrews, what a great bass player he was. Ironically Mike Stern has been a Yamaha artist as well for many years now.
